Chapter 25: Regret and Doubt

Inside the castle guild hall, Loma's figure emerged. Fastest updates

Leaning wearily against the guild crystal, he sat on the ground without saying a word, staring blankly at the bag of ashes in the inventory.

[The girl's ashes: The story of the "little match girl" has come to an end, the kind hero is late after all, and everything is irretrievable. The ill-fated girl had been reduced to a pile of ashes, and in the dead of night, her childish voice of selling matches and tearful thanks could be faintly heard. 】

[Type: Talisman.] Equipment Position: Inventory. Binding Character: Horus (Loma Copperbeard). Not to be damaged, not to be abandoned, not to be used, not to be stolen]

[Special effects: 1. The blessing of the girl, the wielder receives 50% less damage from the evil flame attribute, and the damage of evil or fire is reduced by 10%; 2. The girl's poverty, the holder's ability to obtain money is reduced; 3. The girl's fairy tale, the holder is easy to get the favor of children.] 】

The equipment is good equipment, although it has a negative effect, but it can basically be about the same as the "poverty oath" in the non-traverser, and there are people who don't have a copper on their bodies, and they don't live like this. It's nothing more than usually fighting in the jungle by yourself, and the gluttonous insects come up to find friends to eat and drink. And its two positive effects are very good, especially the first one, which is quite powerful.

The most rare thing is that this equipment does not occupy the equipment position on the body, and it can be effective when placed in the inventory, which may be its biggest advantage.

But Loma's heart did not have the slightest joy of getting good equipment, only sadness.

At this moment, President Sanyu hurriedly ran into the guild hall.

Just now, Panda chatted with him privately, telling him that Loma might be in a bad mood when he was in a little trouble, and asked him to help take care of him. He immediately got up and ran to the resurrection point to check on Loma.

Seeing Loma, who was usually smashed, sitting there with a dejected face, he was shocked, but he slowed down his pace, walked over as if he was careless, and asked lightly: "Why did you hang back?"

"Encounter a powerful boss. Loma replied ominously.

"Is there such a powerful boss in that world?" Sanyu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is the bell tower weird?"

"No, it's probably a 'dancing puppet'. ”

Sanyu thought for a while and frowned: "This guy has completed his evolution?"

Loma was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and hurriedly opened the private chat channel and sent a message to the panda.

"Oh no! That 'dancing puppet' has evolved, and my axe may not be able to kill it. Be careful, don't let it plot!"

The panda, who was searching for clues in the tattered circus, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly told his companion the news loudly. Eric and Alfien immediately come to his side, and the three of them reunite to make sure they don't get plotted.

It is said that with Loma's strength, he used his legendary skills and full firepower to smash the "self-detonation axe", and even a legendary powerhouse would have to. Even if the "dancing puppet" evolves, if he is hit by this axe, he will also die. Even if the direction of its evolution belongs to the type of "Divine Turtle Good Continuation", which can be called a professional-level Gou Ba, at most, it is to turn all dead into half dead, and it is already remarkable to be able to survive with one breath left.

So Panda and the others are actually not very worried, but in line with the idea of "being careful to sail a boat for ten thousand years", they are more cautious.

They searched the vast ruins to find the boss's traces. But after looking for a while, I only found some worthless rags, as for the clues or something, several dry corpses, do they count?

There were no visible injuries on the bodies, only a few inconspicuous bruises. The strangest thing is that their clothes are not damaged in the slightest, and it is not known what means were used to kill people in this strange way.

The three of them looked at each other, and after a moment, Eric said, "It seems that I can't find any valuable information, what should I do?"

"Anyway, this boss is crippled even if he doesn't die, so our mission can be considered complete. "Tomorrow morning, take these corpses to the king." If he thinks it doesn't matter, we'll put on another show for him in the evening. ”

The panda frowned, looking left and right with some concern.

He always felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong tonight, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

At that moment, they saw a magical light shoot from inside the palace into the sky.

"Are there magicians in this world?" Alfiin asked, puzzled.

Eric and Panda shook their heads together, although there are legends of magicians in this world, but in fact, there are very, very few characters in the spellcasting system. Even some scholars and exorcists who know how to spell will never be able to cast a spell that powerful.

They could see at a glance that the light just now was definitely the aftermath of a high-level spell.

"Let's go, let's go to the palace!" Panda quickly decided, "Whatever the hell is going on, we have to find out." ”

...... Let's rewind the clock a little bit and see what happened inside the palace some time ago.

When the strange evil spirits used their ability to penetrate the walls, the guards of the palace finally could no longer hold the battle line, and their morale collapsed, screaming and fleeing in all directions.

In the midst of the chaos, the king, with his family and cronies, hurried to the vicinity of the bell tower.

The bell tower of the capital of Cleda is a very special building, it is said that this bell tower existed before the kingdom was established. Later, when the palace was built, the bell tower was deliberately wrapped in the palace wall, which shows the importance attached to it.

However, the bell tower is usually enclosed. No one is allowed to enter the bell tower, not even the walls around it.

Supposedly, since no one approached, the bell tower should have fallen into disrepair. But in fact, not only does it not have any posture of disrepair, but even every day at noon and midnight, someone will ring the bell inside.

Who rings the bell in the bell tower?

This question has always troubled the people in the palace. Over the years, there have been more than one time when someone has quietly crept into the bell tower to investigate, but no one has returned.

If it weren't for the terrifying evil spirits that came tonight, no one would dare approach it.

Even when the king gave the order to go to the bell tower, even if there was a threat from evil spirits, many people quietly ran away. When they finally arrived at the bell tower, there were only about thirty people left in the group.

The king looked at the sparse procession, sighed, and did not blame anyone, but told everyone to never approach the gate of the bell tower, and sat down with their backs to the gate.

In the past, he would never do such a good thing, but today, he really can't care about it.

Cries and all sorts of chaotic voices rang out constantly, some far away, some silent. After a while, silence had returned around the bell tower.

All of them waited anxiously, for hope or despair to come.

Then, like the ones they were waiting for, one by one the spirits pierced through the walls and came to them.
